A pro-family activist in New York says the Old Testament prophet Isaiah was right: there will come a time people call evil good and good evil. In fact, says the activist, it happened this week in a New York courtroom.

Jeffrey Hurant, the owner and operator of a New York-based online brothel, could have gotten up to seven years under New York law – and up to five years under federal law – for running a brothel. But several homosexual New York City politicians and two members of Congress lobbied for leniency. U.S. District Judge Margo Brodie evidently listened, sending Hurant away for six months and imposing a $7,500 fine.

Ahead of her visit to Israel this week, the United States Ambassador to the UN, Nikki Haley, is calling on the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) to end its anti-Israel bias.

In an opinion piece in The Washington Post, published on Friday ahead of her trip in which she is also scheduled to address the UNHRC in Geneva, Haley said the council must “end its practice of wrongly singling out Israel for criticism”.

“When the council passes more than 70 resolutions against Israel, a country with a strong human rights record, and just seven resolutions against Iran, a country with an abysmal human rights record, you know something is seriously wrong,” she added.

On this Memorial Day, we honor those who have died serving our country. We thank God for their sacrifice. And we stand in solidarity with all those in the military. We’re grateful for their service to our country.

Unfortunately, this is also a perfect time for the mainstream media to spew propaganda against Christian influence in the military. We’ve gotten used to this by now because propaganda is vital to the health of today’s radical, anti-God, secular revolution.

Hitler wrote in “Mein Kampf,” “By clever and persevering use of propaganda even heaven can be presented as hell to the people, and conversely the most wretched life as paradise.”

A few decades later, Saul Alinsky wrote in “Rules for Radicals,” “If you push a negative hard enough it will eventually push through to become a positive.”

In the culture wars currently rocking US campuses, the enemies of free speech have plenty of tools on their side. Many of these would appear to be advantages.

For instance, the employment of violence, thuggery, and intimidation against those who disagree are generally effective ways to prevent people hearing things you do not want them to hear.

As are the subtle but more regularly employed tactics for shutting people down, such a “no-platforming” people or getting them disinvited after they have been invited, should the speaker’s views not accord 100% with those of their would-be censors.

University campuses used to be places for open discourse and intellectual debate, but this is no longer true thanks to a chorus of voices on the left.

Calls for “safe spaces” where students won’t be emotionally “triggered” by ideas with which they disagree have multiplied and the number of violent protests, overwhelmingly against conservative speakers, have exploded in the past year.

Obama Betrays Israel At The United Nations – Is America’s Reprieve Now Over?

Barack Obama actually did it. Despite enormous pressure from the government of Israel, President-elect Donald Trump and members of his own party in Congress, Barack Obama decided to stick a knife in Israel’s back at the United Nations.
